If they call for me and wonder where I am
Tell them I'm not feeling well today
If they don't believe you I don't give a damn
I just might pick up the phone and say

Puttin' in a little bit of overtime at home
Puttin' in a little bit of overtime at home
If there's anything on earth I feel the need to do
It's stay at home from work and play a while with you
Today just let the world leave me alone
Cause I'm puttin' in a little bit of overtime at home

[ guitar ]

Everyday they get ten hours of my time
And I bring home to you what's left of me
With an aching body and a worried mind
But today that ain't the way it's gonna be

I'm a puttin' in a little bit of overtime at home
Puttin' in a little bit of overtime at home
